Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation A single recessive gene designated si conditioned the primary morphological effect.
- Mechanism Short internodes in compact plants reduced main stem length.
- Mechanism Short internodes reduced the number and length of primary and secondary branches.
- Mechanism Short internodes reduced flowering through fewer flowers per node.
- Recommendation The authors suggest compact habit and concentrated flowering may have value in new interspecific hybrids.
